Why do X pedals have such a wide range of float?
The wide range of float is a necessary design by-product of a free floating pedal system. For safety reasons, a free-floating pedal design requires a release angle greater than fixed pedal designs. Although the majority of riders will use only a few degrees of the available float, riders with serious biomechanical misalignments will use more. X pedals do not ever cause a rider’s foot to use the full range of float. A rider naturally uses only the float needed to prevent misalignment.
